Be+Well Beauty & Wellness Show (IBS + IECSC Las Vegas)

Be+Well — the combined International Beauty Show (IBS) and International Esthetics, Cosmetics & Spa Conference (IECSC) — returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center June 27–29, 2026 for its 28th annual Las Vegas edition, organized by Questex. Now operating under the unified Be+Well Beauty & Wellness Show brand, the three-day event brings 13,000 hair, skin, spa, nail, cosmetics, and wellness professionals to LVCC's South and Central halls for 400+ brand exhibitors, 60+ accredited education sessions, and the industry's premier Western US trade floor.

The show runs Saturday June 27 through Monday June 29 — an unusual Saturday-through-Monday calendar that aligns the convention opening with one of the strongest nightlife weekends on the Las Vegas Strip summer schedule. Beauty professionals arriving Friday June 26 land into a peak-demand nightclub night before the show floor opens Saturday morning.

## What Be+Well Is — And Who Attends

Be+Well is the product of Questex's 2024 unification of IBS Las Vegas and IECSC Las Vegas, two shows that had been co-located at the LVCC for years before merging under a single brand and floor plan. The combined event serves every segment of the professional beauty industry: licensed cosmetologists and stylists working in salon environments (IBS heritage); licensed estheticians, medical spa practitioners, and massage therapists (IECSC heritage); nail technicians; lash and brow specialists; wellness coaches; beauty school educators; and the buyers, distributors, and brand representatives who supply them.

The Be+Well floor is organized into themed neighborhood zones designed to reduce the navigation time of earlier co-located shows. Hair & Salon Essentials covers hair color products and tools, extensions and wigs, salon furniture, and men's grooming. Spa & Wellness encompasses skincare tools and devices, medical spa equipment, waxing systems, body care, tanning, and spa furniture. Nails, Cosmetics, Brows & Lashes groups nail care products and tools, color cosmetics, lash and brow systems, and permanent makeup equipment. The Business & Education District hosts the 60+ classroom and stage sessions that run throughout the three days. The Retail Zone and TechZone complete the floor, with beauty technology, point-of-sale systems, and direct-to-consumer brand incubator showcases.

Questex reports more than 32,000 combined attendees at its New York IBS + IECSC editions — the Las Vegas market draws the Western US base, with 13,000 industry professionals annually confirmed for the LVCC dates.

## The Friday Pre-Convention Night — June 26

Beauty professionals arriving Friday June 26 for the Saturday opener enter one of Las Vegas's strongest midsummer nightlife nights. The Strip nightclub calendar runs simultaneously at maximum capacity:

**Metro Boomin at LIV Nightclub (Fontainebleau, 10:30 PM)** — The Atlanta super-producer behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, 21 Savage's collaborations, and the HEROES & VILLAINS album brings his live DJ show to the northernmost major nightclub on the Strip. LIV at Fontainebleau opened in 2023 and books the strongest hip-hop and R&B calendar on the Strip alongside Drai's Nightclub.

**Zedd at OMNIA Nightclub (Caesars Palace, 10:30 PM)** — The Russian-German producer behind Clarity, The Middle with Maren Morris, and Spectrum holds a multi-year OMNIA residency that makes him the defining Saturday-night headliner at the Caesars Palace club. OMNIA's three-level interior — including the iconic 22-ton kinetic chandelier — runs from 10:30 PM through 4:00 AM.

**Big Sean at Hakkasan Nightclub (MGM Grand, 10:30 PM)** — The Detroit rapper behind I Don't Fuck With You, Bounce Back, and One Man Can Change the World performs at Hakkasan at MGM Grand. Hakkasan is the Strip's largest nightclub by capacity at 7,000 guests across six floors, booking hip-hop headliners alongside its EDM programming in a format that suits the Be+Well attendee mix.

**Loud Luxury at XS Nightclub (Encore Wynn, 10:30 PM)** — The Canadian house duo behind Body performs at the Wynn's flagship nightclub. XS runs a curated residency calendar that has included Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, and deadmau5 across the 2026 summer season.

**Ian Asher at Zouk Nightclub (Resorts World, 10:30 PM)** — The LA-based house producer holds a Zouk residency, performing at Resorts World's main club.

For the dayclubs on Friday June 26: TWINSICK at OMNIA Dayclub (Caesars Palace, 11 AM) and VAVO with Dustin Lynch at Encore Beach Club (Wynn, 11 AM) cover the afternoon pool party circuit before the nightclub program begins.

## Convention Opening Weekend — Saturday and Sunday, June 27-28

The Be+Well show floor opens Saturday June 27 — which also happens to be one of the most heavily programmed nightclub and dayclub days of the Las Vegas summer calendar:

**Encore Beach Club — Marshmello (11:00 AM)** — The masked EDM producer behind Happier, Friends, and Wolves headlines EBC's Saturday dayclub session. EBC at Wynn Las Vegas is the Strip's premium outdoor dayclub — 60,000 square feet, three tiers, and the most reliable A-list headliner booking calendar in Las Vegas. Marshmello's EBC set is one of the most anticipated dayclub appearances of the June calendar.

**OMNIA Dayclub — FISHER (11:00 AM)** — The Australian house and tech house producer behind Losing It and You Little Beauty headlines OMNIA's Saturday dayclub at Caesars Palace. OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar opened May 15, 2026 and is the newest premium outdoor venue on the Strip for the 2026 season.

**Palm Tree Beach Club — Tiësto (11:00 AM)** — The Dutch DJ and producer — ranked #1 in DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs four times — headlines Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand. Tiësto holds a multi-venue residency across LIV Beach and Palm Tree, making him the summer's most-booked headliner at the Fontainebleau and MGM Grand pool properties.

**LIV Beach — Cloonee (11:30 AM)** — The Irish house producer performs at the Fontainebleau's outdoor pool venue.

**TAO Beach Dayclub — Deorro (11:00 AM)** — The American DJ and producer known for Yee, Perdoname, and his extended Hakkasan and TAO residency history plays the Venetian pool venue.

Saturday nightclub program after the show floor and pools close: **deadmau5 at XS** (10:30 PM), **GORDO at LIV** (10:30 PM), **Subtronics at EBC at Night** (10:30 PM), **DJ Pauly D at OMNIA** (10:30 PM), **James Hype at Zouk** (10:30 PM), **DJ Boof at Hakkasan** (10:30 PM), **Lost Frequencies at Marquee** (10:30 PM).

Monday June 29 — the convention's final day — closes with Marquee Mondays (DJ Sourmilk at Marquee Nightclub, 10:30 PM) as the main Strip nightclub program.

## Pool Parties and Dayclubs Near the LVCC

The Las Vegas Convention Center is located at 3150 Paradise Road, approximately 1.5 miles east of the Strip's center. The Strip's dayclub circuit is accessible via rideshare in 8–15 minutes from the LVCC parking structure.

**Encore Beach Club (EBC)** at Wynn Las Vegas is the closest major dayclub to the LVCC by Strip geography — Wynn sits at the northern end of the Strip, 1.2 miles west of the LVCC. Rideshare runs 6–8 minutes. EBC operates Thursday through Sunday and holds the Strip's most consistent headliner dayclub calendar. For Be+Well's Saturday June 27 opening — Marshmello — and the pre-convention Friday June 26 arrival, EBC is the premium dayclub destination.

**OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar** at Caesars Palace (2.5 miles southwest of LVCC) opened May 15, 2026 as the Strip's newest outdoor pool venue. With FISHER on opening weekend Saturday (June 27), OMNIA Dayclub is the new addition to the center-Strip dayclub circuit for Be+Well attendees.

**TAO Beach Dayclub** at The Venetian Resort (0.8 miles southwest of LVCC) is the closest major dayclub to the convention center and one of the most established pool venues on the Strip. The 47,000-square-foot outdoor venue at The Venetian runs a program anchored by DJ residencies throughout the summer. TAO Beach's proximity to the LVCC — under a 5-minute rideshare from the convention parking structure — makes it the default midday break option for be+Well attendees.

**Marquee Dayclub** at The Cosmopolitan (2.2 miles southwest of LVCC) operates on a Beatport Fridays and Poolside Sundays programming format, booking EDM acts across its outdoor deck and indoor ballroom combined format.

## Nightclub Circuit for Be+Well Week

The Las Vegas nightclub circuit opens between 10:30 PM and midnight. The Be+Well show floor runs daytime hours (typically 9 AM–6 PM), giving attendees the full evening window before nightlife begins.

**XS Nightclub** at Encore Wynn Las Vegas is the northernmost major nightclub on the Strip and the closest premium venue to the LVCC — approximately 1.5 miles west, accessible via a 6–8 minute rideshare. XS books the strongest EDM headliner calendar on the Strip: deadmau5 (June 27), Valentino Khan (June 28), and weekend residency dates with Calvin Harris and The Chainsmokers across the full summer.

**OMNIA Nightclub** at Caesars Palace books Zedd (June 26 pre-convention) and DJ Pauly D (June 27 convention opening day) for Be+Well weekend. OMNIA's center-Strip location and three-level layout — ground floor main stage, Heart of OMNIA intimate room, and Terrace outdoor level — provide variety within a single venue.

**Hakkasan Nightclub** at MGM Grand brings a hip-hop and R&B program with Big Sean (June 26) and DJ Boof (June 27) that makes it the strongest crossover option for Be+Well attendees who prefer hip-hop to EDM. Hakkasan at MGM Grand is 3.5 miles south of the LVCC — a 12–15 minute rideshare.

**LIV Nightclub** at Fontainebleau (2.7 miles northwest of LVCC) books Metro Boomin (June 26) and GORDO (June 27) for Be+Well weekend. Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in 2023 and LIV is the hotel's flagship nightclub.

**Marquee Nightclub** at The Cosmopolitan (2.2 miles southwest of LVCC) runs DJ Sourmilk on Monday June 29 — the only major Strip nightclub program running on the convention's final day. Marquee Mondays with Marquee Dayclub's Mondays on My Mind afternoon session gives Be+Well final-day attendees a midday pool option that flows into the evening.

**Zouk Nightclub** at Resorts World Las Vegas (3.3 miles north of LVCC via Interstate 15) runs Ian Asher (June 26) and James Hype (June 27) for Be+Well weekend.

## Hotels Near the Convention Center

The Las Vegas Convention Center is not attached to a casino-hotel property — unlike Mandalay Bay, Venetian, or MGM Grand, which have direct internal convention access. LVCC guests choose between on-Strip hotels and the two casino hotels immediately adjacent to the convention campus.

**The LINQ Hotel + Experience** (2.5 miles southwest of LVCC, accessible via monorail from LVCC station to The LINQ station in 8 minutes) is one of the closest Strip hotels by transit. The High Roller observation wheel and Promenade are on-property, with OMNIA, Marquee, and Bally's within walking distance of the LINQ Promenade corridor.

**Resorts World Las Vegas** (2.4 miles northwest of LVCC via Frank Sinatra Drive) is the closest major Strip resort to the convention center by car — a 5–7 minute rideshare. Resorts World includes the Hilton, Hilton Grand Vacations, and Conrad Las Vegas tower brands under one campus, with Zouk Nightclub and Ayu Dayclub on-property.

**The Las Vegas Hilton (Las Vegas Convention Center East)** at 3000 Paradise Road is directly adjacent to the LVCC campus — across the street on Paradise Road. Non-casino convention hotel: rooms, a pool, and food and beverage within a 5-minute walk of the convention entrance.

**Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino** at 3000 Paradise Road (adjacent to LVCC) is the closest full-service casino hotel to the convention — 0.1 miles from the convention center entrance, connected via pedestrian bridge. Formerly the Las Vegas Hilton (where Elvis Presley held his famous residency), Westgate includes a casino floor, multiple restaurants, and a SuperBook sports betting facility.

For attendees who prioritize nightlife proximity over convention commute time: **Caesars Palace**, **The Cosmopolitan**, or **The Venetian** place you within walking distance of OMNIA, Marquee, and TAO Beach but add 15–20 minutes to the morning LVCC commute.

## The Las Vegas Monorail — LVCC to Strip Access

The Las Vegas Monorail's northernmost station is at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC Station, 3150 Paradise Road), making it directly accessible from the convention floor via a pedestrian walkway.

From LVCC Station, the monorail runs south with stops at: SLS/Sahara (0.7 miles), LINQ/Harrah's (1.4 miles), Flamingo/Caesars (1.8 miles), Bally's/Paris (2.0 miles), MGM Grand (2.8 miles). Single-ride adult fare is $5.00; 24-hour unlimited pass is $16.00.

For Be+Well attendees targeting the center-Strip nightclub circuit: the Flamingo/Caesars stop places you within a 5-minute walk of OMNIA Nightclub, a 7-minute walk of Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan, and a 3-minute rideshare from most other center-Strip venues. Travel time from LVCC to Flamingo/Caesars by monorail is approximately 7–10 minutes.

For the northern Strip (XS, LIV, Resorts World): rideshare from LVCC is 8–15 minutes depending on traffic on Frank Sinatra Drive and Sahara Avenue.

## Official Be+Well Convention Parties

Beyond the Strip nightclub circuit, Be+Well 2026 hosts three official convention social events booked through the show organizer, Questex. These are separate from the venue's regular programming and carry their own ticket pricing.

**ASCP Skin Deep Readers Choice Awards — Saturday, June 27, 8:30–10:30 PM (FREE)**

The American Society of Esthetics (ASCP) hosts its annual Skin Deep Readers Choice Awards ceremony inside the Heart of OMNIA at Caesars Palace on Saturday evening — the same day the show floor opens. The Heart of OMNIA is a smaller, intimate room within the OMNIA Nightclub complex, positioned as a separate booking from the main OMNIA Nightclub main room that opens at 10:30 PM with DJ Pauly D. Admission is free and capped at 625 guests; the first 100 through the door receive a complimentary drink ticket and a swag bag. Registration via Eventbrite is required and recommended in advance, as the 625-person cap fills before the event. The 8:30–10:30 PM window makes the ASCP Awards the natural pre-game event for attendees heading into the Saturday nightclub circuit — guests can attend the ceremony, then move directly to the main OMNIA room or any other Strip nightclub when the ceremony ends.

**Be+Well Opening Night Club Party at OMNIA Nightclub — Saturday, June 27, 10:30 PM**

The official Be+Well opening night party takes place at OMNIA Nightclub at Caesars Palace at 10:30 PM — coinciding with DJ Pauly D's Saturday residency. Tickets are $25 and include one complimentary drink valued at $80+. The ticket provides VIP Entrance line access to OMNIA, bypassing the standard walk-up queue — a meaningful advantage on a Saturday night when OMNIA's door runs until 2 AM. Event is sponsored by Circadia (beauty brand) and Tanteo Tequila. The all-inclusive $25 ticket prices below OMNIA's standard walk-up cover charge while delivering VIP line priority and the included drink credit. 21+ required. Purchase through the official Be+Well parties page at bewellshowlasvegas.com.

**Mix & Mingle at Azilo Ultra Lounge (SAHARA Las Vegas) — Sunday, June 28, 7:00–9:00 PM**

The Sunday evening networking event is the Mix & Mingle at Azilo Ultra Lounge inside SAHARA Las Vegas, running 7:00–9:00 PM. Tickets are $25 with one complimentary drink included. SAHARA sits at the northern end of Las Vegas Boulevard — one monorail stop from the LVCC (LVCC Station to SLS/Sahara Station, approximately 3 minutes by monorail, or 5 minutes by rideshare). Azilo Ultra Lounge is a 3,819 sq ft intimate cocktail lounge with 240-person capacity and a center bar — a more conversational format than the Strip mega-clubs, suited to the industry networking purpose. The Sunday event bridges the convention's second day with the final Monday show floor, giving attendees a structured social opportunity before the closing day. Event sponsor is neuLASH; beverage sponsor is Old Smoky. Source: bewellshowlasvegas.com/bewellshowlasvegascom/parties.

## Guest List Strategy for Be+Well Attendees

NoCoverVegas provides complimentary nightclub and pool party guest list access for qualifying groups during Be+Well June 27–29. Key notes for beauty industry attendees:

**Weekend nights (June 26-27):** The pre-convention Friday and convention opening Saturday are among the most heavily attended nights in Las Vegas's summer calendar. Guest list requests submitted at least 48 hours in advance — by Wednesday June 24 for Friday entry, by Thursday June 25 for Saturday — give the highest odds of confirmed placement. Cover charges of $40–80 at walk-up are eliminated with advance guest list. Arrive before 12:30 AM to clear the guest list entry lane before the door transitions to general admission.

**Sunday and Monday (June 28-29):** Weeknight and early-week guest list availability is highest. OMNIA, XS, Hakkasan, and Marquee operate with lighter door pressure than Friday–Saturday. Sunday June 28 (Valentino Khan at XS, Steve Aoki at OMNIA Dayclub) and Monday June 29 (Marquee Mondays) are the most accessible nights for last-minute planning.

**Pool party access:** Submit 24–48 hours in advance. Saturday June 27 dayclubs — Marshmello at EBC and FISHER at OMNIA Dayclub — draw the highest demand of the Be+Well weekend. Tuesday availability at TAO Beach or Palm Tree Beach Club is more accessible for midweek leisure.

**Dress code:** Strip nightclubs require upscale attire — no athletic wear, no baseball caps, no flip flops. Beauty industry professionals attending Be+Well typically arrive at Las Vegas in fashion-forward, trend-conscious clothing that meets Strip nightclub dress code requirements without additional preparation. This demographic transitions from convention floor to nightlife more naturally than most trade show attendees.

## Convention Culture and Las Vegas Integration

Be+Well draws a predominantly female professional demographic — the salon, esthetics, and spa industries have long operated with a female-dominant workforce, and the Las Vegas edition reflects that composition. This creates a convention culture more aligned with boutique cocktail bars and upscale supper clubs alongside the Strip nightclub circuit, compared to the tech convention crowds that dominate the LVCC calendar in winter and spring.

The beauty industry's Las Vegas convention week has historically generated strong Friday–Saturday nightclub demand as professionals extend their trip through the weekend. With Be+Well's Saturday-through-Monday calendar, the strongest nightlife overlap is the opening weekend (June 27–28) rather than the closing night — an unusual convention structure that means Friday June 26 arrivals and Saturday June 27 convention-goers access peak pool party and nightclub capacity simultaneously.

Guest list through NoCoverVegas handles complimentary entry coordination for group bookings — whether a salon team of four, an esthetics school cohort, or brand representatives hosting client dinners that extend into the nightclub circuit. Submit your guest list request at least 48 hours before your target night with your group size and any venue preferences; we handle the confirmation process with the venue's host team.
